THE BEGINNING: Bodegas Proelio originated from Finca La Esperilla, an iconic vineyard planted in 1974 using the traditional goblet method, where the red grape varieties of Rioja— Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo—are grown to produce a unique field blend wine. This type of wine is made from grapes of different varieties which are planted together in the same vineyard.
VINEYARD AREA & ALTITUDE: Finca La Esperilla is a legendary vineyard planted in goblet-trained vines at the foot of Clavijo Castle at an average altitude of 650 meters above sea level.. There have always been vineyards here, so we could say that this is an ancient wine-growing area. True to tradition, the vines are dry-farmed.
A medium-bodied wine with an elegant cherry red colour and violet rim. Intense, complex and fresh on the nose, with notes of forest fruits and balsamic hints reminiscent of aromatic wild herbs. There are also hints of slightly ripe red fruit and a hint of gunpowder. Lively and fresh on the palate, with structure and intensity, and a crisp, fruity finish with flinty mineral notes.
